Ross Kemp , Sky 1 spending a year with the Royal Anglicans , learning to use a weapon and standing in 40 degree heat while a dead soldier is repatriated and is carried on to a plane to make his last trip home , The question was asked how did you make it feel , very sad was his reply , in the film shown jsut before he says "its all too real".
A brave man who has faught for his country and paid the ultimate price for his country and all this while the goverment let our country go to ruin , unable or unwilling to sort out our postal service , unable or unwilling to sort out our immigration problem , while these guys fight for thier lives on foriegn soil which is not really our war.
BBC ceefax today had an article on one of it pages saying the Americans have lost 55 soldiers in afganistan this month alone and the month is not over yet , 11 today in explosions , A waste of life in a war where we and the Americans are an invading army and in a war we will never win.
Ross Kemp used to be in Eastenders and played Grant Mitchell , but this is a far cry from playing a hard man on a television show , this is real learning to use a weapo and told that YOU WILL USE IT , if you are the last man standing as you will not want to be taken prisoner by these guys who you are fighting.
Its the first of 3 episodes tonight , I dont think he is trying to glamourise war but he is showing it how it is real , nasty and dirty.
He is the type of man who in the first or second world war would have gone to the trenches and watched what was happening and put his life on the line so the people at home could read the real story.
Fear is what these me and women must feel it is a fear that i hope I or anyone i know feels and a fear that i have no envy of for these people who are out there fighting for thier lives , but one thing I do have is the ultimate respect for anybody who does this.

The minute you knocked on the door...
You enter a new playing area.
Whilst at work today , I spoke to a driver and we disscussed the Question Time programme with Nick Griffin on (again I hear you say) , but people are not getting bored of it and want to talk about it , And as a potential MP I am supposed to be the ears of my constiuency , they talk and I listern and try and solve any problems that they have.
This Driver said when I told him I was standing for the English Democrats in my area which is where I work as well that he had voted English Democrats i the european election along with his nieghbours BECAUSE and this is the intresting bit, Because the candidate had been the only person from any political party to knock on his door and speak to him and he had also made alot of sense.
He said it made a great difference that this guy had bothered to go around and knock and take the time to chat to him and other people and not take his vote for granted like he said it would appear the other main stream parties did.
We need to learn from these people who we talk to and learn that making things personal and going up to them and speaking with them makes a big difference , obviously it will not win over every person that you or I speak to but , if we go out ad talk like Ron Sands and Co. did last weekend and Bill Baker and Kim Gaddy did a few weeks back and I and my wife do at times , it shows a willingness and desire to let people know who we , who you are and it shows that we are taking the trouble to spend 1 maybe 2 or even 4 hours or more i that street on at that shopping centre to get to know the people and find out what they want.
Take a pencil with you and a notepad so you can jot down peoples concerns and it shows that you are listening to them and being interested in what they have to say.
Remember every person is a potential voter and that person's vote could make the difference between you winning that seat and losing it or it could make the difference between you keeping that deposit and losing it.
And it could also be that , the person you have just spoken to will go home and speak to his wife , his son , his daughter , his friend , his neighbour or a work colleague and spread the word of who you are and who you are standing for.
Back again to my driver , I asked who it had been that had called and he wast sure of the name but that Lee Pickering sounded familiar , Also tonight he would go home and look at our web page so he could find out some more details about the party as if he was going to vote for us at the general election he wanted to make sure he was doing the right thing.
Another day , another happy potential voter for the English Democrats - The only party who are putting the people of England first.

World war one submarine found
A submarine has been found that never returned from a routine patrol in the Baltic sea in 1916 which was sent out by Winston Churchill.HMS E18 was found last week near the Estonian island of Hiiumaa, some 90 miles (140km) , The supplied picture is not of HMS E18 but is a stock picture of an HMS E class.
A swedish marine survey company are the ones to have found it , who are called Marin Matteknik (MMT)
MMT said
"This is a very emotional discovery for me and the search team," he said. "We will now complete our mission to document this wreck and inform the relevant authorities. We want to investigate the exact cause of the sinking - and to honour the fallen by telling their story."
The lives of some 33 men were lost including 3 Russians who were there in the capacity of liasion.
Naval historian Eric Grove said the Baltic campaign was the Royal Navy's most successful submarine campaign of the war. (This intresting article was found on aol news)
Eric Grove has quite alot of history and there is a link below about him courtsey of Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Grove
Lets hope that when they have done recording the damage and whats onboard if thats what they intend that they leave the submarine and those who served in peace and to continue thier rest.
Whilst Looking for the links and the pictures I found what appeared to be a very intresting article for people to look at connected with the E class submarines of that era

The power of ONE plus another
It is quite amazing what a bit of advertising can do.
If you look at my profile on facebook and have a peek at some of my pictures you will see some of my car , yes its red and its a mobile advert for the English Democrats
www.englishdemocrats.org
I have a few stickers on the windows and four George cross flags 2 either side of the car , then i have the creme de la creme 2 nice sized magnets showing off the ED logo on each side , one each on the drivers and passengers door.
They were inexpensive and well worth the buy they sit in the car park at work all day for people to see and when I drive down the road people look , each person that looks at the magnets or the stickers means there is another person who knows about the English Democrats , so it does work.
I always try to offer a leaflet if I am able to and it is safe to do so when I am in the car but if i am out of the car i will always try and engage in conversation and be polite to the person , some people wish for just a leaflet others want to chat and know more.
Tonight going from home to collect my wife and then the return trip I counted about 40 plus people clocking the ED magnets and that means on this one trip they have paid for themselves.

Time after time again and again
Time please to leave us alone.
The clocks change this weekend , actually on Sunday at 2am so we get 2am twice this Sunday becuase the clocks go backwards and we all get that extra hour in bed , whoop , whoop , whoop.
People always say the same thing at this time of year but we are English and we want it left alone.
This year to add to it there has been calls for a scottish time zone called "tundra time" and a person called Sir Alistair Horne has said it is "absolutley crazy" for the UK to have a different time zone to the rest of Europe , but Scotland might benefit.
I have the answer to this let the rest of Europe join us and do what we do and , we stay how we are.
Greenwich is famous for time and other things like fixing longitude , we also have greenwich mean time (GMT) which we will be changing to thie weekend away from BST (British summer time)
here's a link for you to have a look
http://www.greenwich-guide.org.uk/observ.htm
But i say leave us alone and let us do what we want to do , stop trying to mess with our history and our culture and OUR traditions.
We like it how we are.

The people
It has been a really odd , but pleasent day today.
The reason behind it was Question Time last night which I have not actually seen yet as it was on too late for me as I had to get up for work at 4:30 this morning , but I do know that first estimates from the BBC is that it was watched by about 8 million people which is pretty good going.
Anyway I went to work this morning and it was not quite 7am when the first person approached me and asked if I had seen QT which I had not , this guy Keton is an asian guy who I have know for sometime and said he watched like alot of his friends did and it showed Mr Griffin not in the best possible light and that it would do "my party" some real good as people are begining to recognise my car and the flags and magnets I have on it.
He said we needed to get out and spread the word so more people knew of us and to talk to as many people as possible as the votes will flow.
As the morning progressed a driver and about 7 other people spoke to me in the same tone in the warehouse and some even mentioned the EDL as well , I think I may have gained about 50 votes according to was said but it will be when that "X" is put in that box when we will see.
Later at breakfast more was said and a lady joined the table who obviously wanted to chat with me but could not get a word in and I ran out of time.
At lunch I was asked if we had a candidate standing in Haringay which as far as I am aware we do not , which is ashame and the lady rejoined me and she was able to speak and said about the ED and also my car and that her and her husband had chatted about me and that if I am in thier area they would both vote for me.
The reasoning behind this is as she said I am happy to put myself up and on the line to stand for my beliefs and the beliefs of the country and that part of that ment immigration and withdrawl from europe , she knows there is more to it , but it is good to hear.
The whole day has been like this and the vibe that I have been getting is really good , it actaully made it a pleasure to be at work , I still need to see QT with Nick on it and see what has been said , I saw some on the news but would like to see the whole programme.
I feel we need to build on this and make sure people know who we are and if I have the energy Today or Monday I and my wife will go and stand outside my local underground station and hand out leaflets to the people on the way home from work.

The whole world
The whole word is going to stop tonight at 10 35 pm BST , because Nick Griffin is on question time from London.
Already there has been protests outside the BBC and people have tried to storm the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8321157.stm
So what are we expecting tonight from the show , well David Dimbledy with have to try and keep control of the show and I would expect any bad language to edited out prior to the showing and , if it came to it and it got exciting with a member of the audience attacking Mr Griffin we wouldnt see it anyway.
Along with Jack Straw who used to wear glassess and looked like the demon headmaster , you can see what he looks like o this YouTube clip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiW6DIRzvsM
It also has Baroness Warsi who is the shadow minister for community cohesion and you also have Bonnie Greer who makes up the panel , Bonnie Greer whose profile you can find here http://www.blackinbritain.co.uk/BonnieGreer.htm
Ill wait til after the programme has aired to see if i need to say anything more but it should be fun and it will be intresting to see if Nick is made to look a twat or if he successfully makes the others look like fools and if it is the latter , expect more people to vote for them in the next elections.
Whatelse has happened today , Lets see thats right Microsoft have luanched Windows 7 which is ment to save them but if you dont like that how about this to compare it to
In 1812 - Duke of Wellington seize Burgos Spain
or
In 1897 - World's 1st car dealer opens in London
This all happened on this day October 22nd

Politics ain't hard and niether should..
And neither should be teaching our children.
Politics should be made easy so everybody can see what is being done , why it is being done and who it is being done by and of course the reason behind it.
As a patriotic Englishman I obviously want an English Parliament so that we can be on equal ground with Scotland , Ireland and Wales.
As a patriotic Englishman and a member of the English Democrats and a candidate for the I would like to see some of the ED people standing elected next year when the election is called , and those who do not win make a good standing and some good backing with plenty of votes.
Politics should not be hard the people of your constituncy should come first and you should be there for them when they need you.
Your country ENGLAND should come next and each time you walk into the house of commons the thought of what am I going to do for my country today should go through your mind , how will I make an impact and how can I improve the lives of the people who live here.
Colour , Sexuality , Religon or Beliefs should not get in the way and working for the good of your country this should always be considered.
Some of the aims should be to get as many people in the country as possible into jobs so less people claim benefits.
Only take those workers from abroad who we really need and get them to train people up of our own so that they can ultimately replace them.
Nationalise Banks , Airports , Railways and any other industries that have been taken over by foriegn companys and help us to become self sufficient once again.
Students - these are the future of our country , the possible leaders , the possible surgeons , the possible invetors of the future , at whatever age they should be given the best teachers and resources to work with so they can be the best.
We need to make our country great once again and bring it all home so we can be proud of who we are.
We need to do whatever is required to make sure it happens within the law and do the easy things.
The easy things are tell the truth , be open about what you are doing , do not hide anything and make sure you are transparent , when the easy things become simple ,move on to the harder things and as you do this you can become a great politician and make the country great as well.
Go on make a stand - Stand up and be counted.

Strong
Going around my area where I live a in a tiny section of my constitency people are being to recognise me and know me.
This is a step in the right direction as the more people who find out about me and the English Democrats the more likely i have of people voting for me , i have alot of work and i mean alot of work to do and it will be hard graft.
I will have to widen my area of leafleting soon and move away from my locality and go to the edges of my standing area so i can see and speak to more people.
I need to make an impact and to do more and as the time to the next election ticks away , that time grows ever smaller.

Response to my blog
This is the response that i recieved from someone who read my blog , They are quite close to me but I thought i would put it on here so other people can see how people feel.
read the blog, it is quite good. The link from your message did not work, so I had to type it in. Just keep popping, it is the only way to get yourself known and even if they do not agree with you, the reasons why not will be constructive. I suppose the comment I would post is: How hypocritical it is for the MPs, who have just returned from a very, very, long break, to stand po-faced while reading out the names of the people of this country, who they have sent to a foreign land to be murdered for no good reason; as the wars and they are wars, not 'conflicts' in Iraq and Afghanistan have made our security in this country much more dangerous - while themselves resisting paying back to this country, which the current Labour Government as managed to almost bankrupt, payments and allowances that other people would have been prosecuted for. The money hived off by MPs, of course, keeping within the 'rules', written for and by them - would have paid for better protection for our troops and some deaths could have been avoided. Not forgetting, that injured and seriously maimed soldiers are having to endure court cases because the Ministry of Defence thinks they have been paid too much compensation and it seems is being reduced! You could not make it up. When will any government remember that they are there to serve the people not have one rule for them and one for the rest.

The perils of ....
Muswell Hill.
This is where I went yesterday and go most weeks at least 3 times a week to pick my wfe up from work , parking is hell and most people seam to drive round in circles.
I always try to time my arrival so my wife is waiting and has onlyhad to wait a few minutes becuase of the parking.
Yesterday , was a rare event I finished work early enough so I could take her to work and thought I would have alook around the pound shop in the process , so at the back of the Marks and Spencers there is a car park , the area is hilly as anyone who is from around the area knows.
So I turned into the side road and found my way to the car park and parked.
The car park is a hill and I did not really think to much about it until I got out of my car and sort of fell into the parked next to me , yes my balance not something I have a great problem with nowadays but obviously in a position what I am not used to it will come back and show me who is the boss.
It took me about 10 minutes to make my way to the ticket machine because I could hardly walk and then it asked for my number plate which I have no idea of and I had to go back and find out and return to my car.
The lady who helped me in the car park must have thought I was drunk which is not good and I truely expected to find the police wating for me when I returned an hour or so later , and never to return to that car park again.
I will have to find somewhere else level next time.

Found out
Well , I finally got a map , yesterday of the area my constituency covers for Enfield / Southgate for the general election.
And WOOOW , its a huge area , but it does mean there is plenty of work to do and plenty or people to find and chat to.
So the area covers from right towards the m25 up the Cockfosters road and all the way back down to Southgate , Then it covers Cockfosters itself , Oakwood and Southgate as well then you get Palmers green and of course Winchmore Hill , so there will be losts of walking and lots and lots of hills.
Its a challenge but its a challenge I have taken on and something I will be happy to do.

The power of...
It is quite amazing what a couple of flags and 2 large magnets can do on a small red car.
As a candidate for the English Democrats I see it as part of my Job to push our profile so people know who we are.
Today is a prime example of the pushing and / or the publicity that I try to give them.
Lets start with 7am this morning , At work I spoke about the 2 councillors that moved from the conservatives to the English Democrats on Thursday.
Then , when about an hour or so later , One of the other colleagues spoke to me so he got the party name right when people spoke to him.
10 30 am - breakfast time and a colleague spoke to me about my car and how nice it looked and how when you stood in the car park , how people stopped and looked at the flags and the magnets (its sending a message and it the best money i have spent)
On the way home about 3 drivers and various passers by noted the flags and the magnets with 1 driver giving the thumbs up , I was home just after midday.
Later on I had been asked by someone at work to leaflet Kent road just round the corner from me as there would be a man doing his garden and he would be intrested in the ED , So i popped out for an hour and there was a man doing his garden and we chatted for 15 minutes and he's going to vote for me if im in his area :).
Then on the way home after picking my wife raquel up from work I had 3 cars toot me , but I think this was more to do with England playing football tonight than the ED and I was stopped at a set of traffic lights on the A406 towards enfield and a white van pulled up beside me and 3 asian gents were inside looking at the magnets , so i took th eoppotunity to lower my window and offer them a leaflet and one jumped out of the van and took a leaflet it took me about 15 seconds to quickly explain who we was and the man thanked me before driving off.
I arrived home at about 7 40 pm a very successfull day.
Not all days are like this but I speak to at least 1 new person most days about the English Democrats

The life of a page
The life of a page is only as good as the people who post on it.
You can look at a page like they hav eon facebook and you can see how many members it has and , simply need to scroll down to read what has been said in th elast few posts without becoming a member.
There is one such page aimmed at the very impressive Peter Davies The mayor of Doncaster , its page title should be changed now becuase he is no longer new to the job (Protest against Doncaster's new Mayor, Peter Davies. What have we done?) and all these people do is RANT , yes RANT about the ENGLAND page http://www.facebook.com/English.Democrats?ref=mf which is a page dedicated to the English Democrats and has over 16300 fans attached to it whereas the other page varies and ranges about 1400 or so , and they need to remember that 25,000 people voted for Peter Davies first and second choice votes , but these 25,00 people all had the courage to vote for change.
There is a couple of regular posters one who also has a blog , If i remember rightly he calls himself steveshark on his blog and is quite happy to give out advice , but as to his blog i have only ever had a quick look.
Then there is the delightful John Ryder or Mr Rob depending of where you find him , I am not 100% sure but I think he is active on a number of other pages and forums but , I would not be suprised if he uses other names on these as he will not use his real name because of the fear of personal abuse which he has recieved in the past , its that or he has too many aliases that he cant actually remember who is actually is.
I wonder if he is married and if his wife wakes him up in the morning showing him a picture of himself with his real name on it so he is aware of his real identity (nice thought and if so very nice wife too)
The group really dont do that much in the way of being anti Peter Davies , they have had a couple of protests outside masion house but that was more for Jim Broad who was suspended and they have had an open letter sent as well which you can find on thier discussion board , but in all not really that much a couple of comments on some things Mr Davies has done , but in reality it would be much better to re name the page , the we loathe the English Democrats.
Quite a few have posted on the ENGLAND page at one time or another but most have been removed and/ or banned for reasons known to the England admin.
John Ryder enjoys screen capping what people say so he can bring it back up and also calling people names , he does come across most of the time as being fair clever I was going to say intelligent but clever suits better and comes across as the self styled leader of the pack or the one who takes the lead depending on how you look at it.

The answer
This is the response I recieved from the Electoral Commission.
Dear Mr. Weald,
Thank you for your email to the Electoral Commission.The Electoral Commission issues guidance to Candidates and Agents on electoral offences including bribery. We are however not the relevant body to offer guidance on whether this particular case would constitute to an electoral offence as candidates are required to seek their own legal advice for their campaign issues.
We would suggest that you consult your own legal guidance to determine whether it is an electoral offence.
I'm sorry I have not been able to offer a definitive answer however please let me know if you require any other information.
Kind Regards
Iredia Oboh

Electoral fraud
The question the other day was raised weather stating in your lititure that you wished to donate part of your pay to a local charity or club was legal especially if you are a member of that club or charity and would this be seen as a Perspective Parlimetary Candidate trying to buy votes if you became an MP , So I sent a message to the Electoral Commission to see what they said.

Again
It was on the news today that 8 more american soldiers and 2 afgan soldiers were killed in an attack today in the deadliest attacks on coalition soldiers for more than a year.
Also in this battle which happened in Nuristan province which is in the remote eact of the country , local officials and police chief were captured by the taliban.
Again this is bad and when any troops die it is not good and whatever country they come from and however often it happens , my thoughts will always be withthier familys.
This is a war which i do not think we will ever win , so like others have said we need to bring our troops home , if our troops were to be at home insted of afganistan we could use the money we are spending out there on helping improve our own country , maybe make sure our schools are up to the best standars or our hospitals have the best equipment there is with the best doctors and nirses trianed.
Or maybe we could spend it on making sure we had enough police walking the streets , which i am sure in my opinion would mean less crime.
If you get Police walking down streets every few hours who have a regular beat and know thier community it would be a step back to community policing , they would know the trouble areas and maybe even get respect from the locals , I am not saying this would end crime but knowing your local bobby like in the days of old would heed results and maybe cut crime.
The other alternative is for the UN to send as many troops to the afgan region as possible and smoother the area with a huge force and systematically move and remove all the taliban again this would not eradicate the probelm but if there were enough soldiers with the best equipment to protect themselves , it may help , but it would have to be a joint force with every country sending the same amount of soldiers.
We need to resolve this problem as soon as possible in one way or another with as little loss of life on both sides as possible.

Mark of respect
Yesterday , on a facebook page I had a minor exchange with the so called John Ryder . or Mr Rob depending on where you find him , he will use different names as he never uses his own.
This exchange happened on the Protest against Doncasters new mayor Peter Davies , He is really not that new anymore so they may consider changing the group page name.
The mayor is an English Democrat and the first day he took office he cut his own salary to £30,000 to save money , He has done other things to but this is not about him.
The people on the above mentioned page have been barred from the England - English Democrats page for varying reason and they take great delight on sitting and watching what goes on and clipping and pasting the comments and threads so they too can make comments about what is said and who says them.
There have been a number of posts in the last few months when a British soldier has died offering thier condolences on the EDP- England page and not once have the people from the Doncaster page clipped and pasted any of these and made a comment or not once have they offered thier respects to the dead soldiers family or friends I said something about this and got this reply.

Renfield, you are truly lower than a snake's belly.I do not offer my condolences to the family and friends of every British serviceman who dies for one simple reason - I do not know them. Being British, I do not engage in the overt displays of faux grief and patriotism that have become a ritual on your page.I do respect every British serviceman who goes into combat in the service of the Crown, whether they live, die or are wounded. Beyond giving money to the British Legion there is not a lot else I can do for them.What you term a mark of respect I term a useless gesture made to make yourselves look and feel good, which is very soon forgotten. There may be a few for whom this is indeed a genuine and meaningful act, and they I exclude from this description. That you bring this up as an attempt to score points makes me pretty certain that you are not one of these people Renfield
For some reason they have taken to calling me Renfield this was after they called me another name which I can not recall accusing me of posting under a different name.
He says he does not offer his condolences to the family and friends of every British serviceman who dies becuase he does not know them , Wootton Bassett do not know every soldier which comes home and passes through thier streets for which they line those streets and pay tribute to the dead soldiers , but they still do this and this is a mark of respect to the soldiers who have paid the ultimate price for serving thier country with thier lives.
It does not make me feel good to know these soldiers have died and I am always genuine in offering my condolences to the family and friends of these soldiers.
There can never be an attempt to score points when these so called points are from a person who has died for thier country.
I would much sooner not have to pay these respects knowing all the British soldiers where home safe and sound.
But HOWEVER often it happens I will continue to pay my respects to these people and thier familys and thier friends who faught along side them, I will never do it to make myself look and feel good as I never feel good when this happens.

England
England have just lost to Australia in the ICC champions trophy , they were completely out played.
Whilst in football England have a team in Egypt at the 2009 under 20's world cup but we have sent out a team of players who are barely recognised , if any are at all because none of the football clubs have allowed thier players to go , because it is outside a fifa window , so they do not have to.
We lost 4 nil to Ghana.
